Pop on over to my friend, Lisa's or Lana's, blogs. These sisters co-host a blog carnival called "Tempt My Tummy Tuesday." It is a lot of fun. People post recipes, product reviews, tips....even ask questions. Why don't you join us?

For my entry....and in celebration....of our "cold" weather, I decided to post:

WHITE HOT CHOCOLATE

ingredients:

12 oz. white chocolate (cut up into chunks)

6 cups milk

2 cups heavy cream

1 tsp. vanilla

*whipped cream, shaved milk chocolate, peppermint sticks

Heat milk and heavy cream in a saucepan until heated thoroughly. You don't want to scorch this...do not boil.

Add white chocolate.

Stir until melted.

Add vanilla, whisk until a little foamy.

To serve, I like to put a dollop of whipped cream (NOT Cool Whip...the real stuff) in the bottom of a mug. Ladle the chocolate drink into mug. Garnish with shaved milk chocolate and a peppermint stick.
